Reports say sponsored armed thugs invaded the venue aided by a police officer; they damaged vehicles and attacked innocent persons.
They injured a journalist leaving him in the pool of his blood. Present in the press conference was Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, Members of House of representatives, Hon Sani Suleiman, Hon Isa Ashiru, Hon Haruna Saeed and other politicians from all the three zones.
